At what age is one held accountable for watching pornography, is it from the age of 9 or from the age of puberty at 12?
The son is not held accountable for sins committed before reaching puberty, according to the : "The pen has been lifted from three: from the insane until he recovers, from the child until he reaches puberty, and from the sleeper until he awakens." The good deeds of a child are recorded for him, but his bad deeds are not recorded against him.
The father must hold himself accountable for any negligence in his son's upbringing and increase his care and oversight. He should command him to pray and observe the rituals of the religion, raise him to memorize the Quran, and associate with the righteous. It is advisable to consult psychological specialists to address the effects of pornographic films.
